The resident stated she told the nurse she was having severe abdominal pain because she had not had a bowel movement since she had returned from the hospital, she was not sure how many days it had been. She stated the nurse brought in her MOM but she told the nurse she did not want it because it did not work for her.

She stated she asked the nurse what she said, and the nurse told her they had a bowel protocol they must follow for constipation, and they could not just give her a bisacodyl. The resident stated she knew the MOM was not going to work fast enough so she did not want it and they would not give her anything else. She stated they had not done anything for a couple days and she was having severe abdominal pain. She stated she only refused the MOM but it was the only laxative the nurse offered. On 02/14/24 at 3:20 P.M. an interview with Regional Compliance Nurse #200 confirmed there was no documentation of Resident #64 having a BM from 12/29/23 to 01/12/24.
